Far-right group's 'Terror Tour' stops in Kamloops and Kelowna

Members of a far-right group are going on a speaking tour in cities across Canada, including Kamloops and Kelowna. Members of Diagolon, a group that gained attention during the convoy protests of 2022, will be coming to Kamloops and Kelowna next month, according to the group's website. Whether they have a venue lined up yet isn't clear.

They were accused of plotting to kill RCMP officers and police later found body armour with a Diagolon patch. An RCMP intelligence report https://truthpedia.ca/doc/The_Diagolon_Files.pdf calls Diagalon a "meme-based, online satirical movement" that seeks to form its own country based on far-right views. The group, led by founder and podcast host Jeremy MacKenzie, "espouses anti-authority and anti-government sentiments, at times in blatant terms referencing violent accelerationism, under the guise of humour," according to the report.

A venue isn't listed, but attendees are promised they'll be notified of a location 24 hours in advance. In Kelowna, there will be a July 15 meet-and-greet, which are free, but the dates and places are "fluid," according to its website.
